Rudd, 53, revealed he spoke with Renner, 52, on Monday, the same day as the Los Angeles premiere for his new movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
"I talked to him yesterday; he's doing all right," Rudd said on Tuesday. "He's doing well. He's the best guy and he's awesome."
Rudd, who has starred opposite Renner in a number of MCU films, including 2016's Captain America: Civil War and 2019's Avengers: Endgame, added, “He’s the best guy and he’s awesome.”
Renner was crushed by a snowplow when he was towing his nephew’s vehicle after it got stuck in the snow.
The Mayor of Kingstown actor suffered life-threatening injuries and had to undergo emergency surgery. He was in the hospital for 14 days after he returned home, where he is still recovering from 30-plus broken bones and undergoing physical therapy.
